Ben is back to elite level form!

Why no kudos to Bell being back to form Coach? He's only leading the league in yards, yards from scrimmage and all-purpose yards. Moving the chains.....

Stalker alert! This was a Ben thread, why do I need to mention the rest of the players? Sigh.

I think Bell played well, but the fumble was a minus.

Now to rattle your chain, this was one of two games this season where Bell averaged over 4.2 yards per carry. Bell broke a four game streak of averaging under 4.0 yards a carry.

Stalker?.....Oh coach....you definitely need some therapy for your narcissism. What about Ben's 2 picks? those were minuses......

Why do you need to mention the rest of they players? Why do we need to ask?

Well Dunning–Kruger, When you throw for 351 yards ( 77.33 % completions ) and 4 TD's, 2 Int's ( One was tipped ) , and run it for 25 yards, that's an A.

Bell used to have better ball control. Not sure what happened, but he's fumbled it 3 times this year. A future cause from concern.

Face it Ike, for whatever reason your drawn to me like a moth to a neon light. Out of your 722 posts, might I be the most replied to in the forum?

You force feed Bell into the conversation. Like I said he played well minus the fumble. But to keep you in a happy place I think Davis, who according to PFF is the 2nd last rated safety was all right last night.
 
Bell is the man, I hope getting rid of a legit backup doesn't hurt us. We literally have nothing but Bell. Conner has been very disappointing. Would have been nice to get an Alvin Kamara or a kareem Hunt

How can you say Conner is disappointing, he hasn't gotten a ton of chances, but he's averaging 4.7 ypc.

I'm very confused by this point. Conner has been good in his very limited opportunities.
 
Martavis appears to be growing back to form every week as well

With Ben back to himself, AB doing AB things, Bryant on his way back, and a healthy JuJu, this offense really should be unstoppable. Only stupid mistakes can beat this offense

Hahahahahaah.....you are a such the clown. You don't even realize you opine someone exhibits traits that you yourself already show us on every single post or thread. The psychological term you use, or basically an observation that individuals who are ignorant/non-skilled in a specific discipline believes they are much more competent than they actually are in that discipline (player evaluations, coaching or general manager operations, situational football knowledge). You are basically what most everyone else is, a fan with an opinion. Which is fine, but to harp constantly you are 'right" about this player because.....or "I predicted this....(enter date) " because of your own perceived knowledge exceeding everyone else makes you the board jester.

Bell used to have better ball control.....He fumbled after gaining 8 yards and was trying to get more....someone got a nice punch on the ball while he was giving extra effort. Kudos to the defender there. Ben's INT to Rogers.....boneheaded for him....tried to force it through the needle, when he had other options.

I didn't force feed Bell into anything...I just call BS to your agendas. You singled out Ben when actually AB had the better game....tripled covered on occasion and STILL had 10 catches and 3 scores......Bell had a good game...180 yards all purpose. Opened up the passing lanes and kept the linebackers honest.

Your agenda regarding PFF....an analytics mag with assessments that are wholly subjective by the individuals who creates the formulas to crunch the statistics. If it wasn't the fact that Collingworth is a major investor, it wouldn't be given the NBC platform it has. So please, just keep burying yourself about Davis, We are laughing at you....like the board did before (Polamalu) and will again.

Hahaahahah......Coach, you need an award.....

Brown doesn't have that game without Ben. ben doesn't have that game without Brown. Why does it always have to be one or the other? Offense has looked pretty damn good the last two weeks, regardless.
 
Thank you Sarge. That desperately needed to be said.

Ben has made Mike Wallace, Santonio Holmes, Emmanuel Sanders and Antonio Brown look GREAT!

Antonio has made Mike Vick look reasonably ok... once. He's made Landry look good a couple times.

Emmanuel Sanders has done a passable job of making and aging Peyton Manning look good and the merry-go-round of QBs in Denver look passable. Nobody ever made Santonio or Wallace look like they were worth a ****.

I'd say Ben's not too shabby and Antonio is hands down the best receiver out of the bunch. Win / Win on both sides.
 
Thing you notice about Ben and you could especially see it in the all 11 shot. He simply refuses to hit the check down early. When he throws to Bell it is so late in the progression that his man attacks. If Ben could learn to hit the first open man he would be so much more efficient. Dont get me wrong. He is thrilling to watch and he always gives you a punchers chance. But like the Mcdonald TD a few weeks back. He was literally wide open for like three or 4 seconds.
 
Ya, I admit. When he took his one sack. He had a dump off for 4 or 5 yards easy that he just refused to take or never saw. Those are the things he just HAS to take against the P*ts to have a chance in that game.

The Steelers have to hold the ball for 35+ minutes in that game and keep cheater off the field for as long as possible. That's their best bet. And they need to go muddle-huddle doing it so Ernie can't call in the plays. Make the ******* cheaters play them.
 
Ben since the Jags debacle:

130/201, 1,679 yards, 14 TD, 5 INT

64.7% completion
279.8 yards per game
8.4 YPA

7.0% TD
2.5% INT
2.80 TD/INT ratio

103.6 rating



The Jags game was a bunch of weird tipped **** and him slinging it to try and come back. He's still playing amazingly while having to pacify AB and Bryant, having a billion drops, and not having a RT for much of the season.

Spot on Wig.....thing is, Belichick has already questioned the muddle huddle or Sugar huddle. Its something to be looked at by the competition committee. So ironic....he implies its circumventing the player substitution rule.
 
Yeah like the way he screwed the Rats a few years ago. Between tgat and illegally shouting fake signals designed to get them to false start.
 
What's with the hand sign that Ben uses after certain scores? I saw him use it after the 2 point conversion that tied the game at 14 and then again when he hit Brown with the go ahead TD to make it 20-14. What does it mean? Has he said anything? Just curious.
 
How can you say Conner is disappointing, he hasn't gotten a ton of chances, but he's averaging 4.7 ypc.

He hasn't been getting chances because he is a liability in the passing game. He has had a couple good runs when there are wide open lanes. He hasn't showed any power, speed or lateral quickness/ vision. He might have 4.7 ypc, but if you watch him run he hasn't shown anything special. Doesn't pass the eye test for me.
 
I'm really upset with Ben after this game..where the hell was the Dilly Dilly audible

Oh, the Steelers will be changing it to " hoodie hoodie " for the Patriots. The audible should mean an illegal pick play, the type the ref's never seem to flag.
